520			_a"The growth of technology in the last half century has been driven by our ability to work at an increasingly small scale. Computers became more powerful the more we were able to pack onto ever smaller chips. In agriculture, where once we had crossbred individual animals or plants, biotechnology enabled us to manipulate the genes themselves. Now nanotechnology takes us to an even smaller scale--to the level of the atom, the building block of everything that exists." (ECOLOGIST) This article describes nanotechnology and examines how it may impact our lives.
